It may not be necessary to wipe data and cache every time you flash a new nightly. Although some times it is... It really depends on what changed in the code.

In summary, if you flash the nightly on top of the previous one you won't loose any apps but risk something not working properly. Do this in ROM Manager by not checking the google apps box when prompted if you want to install them and not checking the wipe option.

If you want a clean start then check the google apps and wipe boxes.

It is also not necessary to flash nightlies every night. Monitor the twitter account @cmsrc and decide if it's worth flashing given the new changes. Sometimes the changes are device specific.

Has anyone gotten wiimote to work? I just tried using it and couldnt get it to work. It syncs up and recognizes button presses but when i try to use it on nesoid or snesoid it doesnt work
[EVO 4G General] kc_exactly:
Thanks for the info. I will look at your opening post.

My market app was still the but would not open. Maps worked but gmail was shot too. Your cache explanation was the first time I actually got an idea of what it did.

Rom manager did ask to wipe but I didn't check it. I though it meant it was going to wipe everything. So if I am understanding your post wipe data and cache just means wiping user data and not the whole phone. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G General] MWSlim:
If you check the box to wipe data on rom manager it wipes the entire phone i believe
[EVO 4G General] kc_exactly:
It worked for me. I am on cm7 build 3.

[EVO 4G General] amw1972:
running CM7 build 3...battery life is nominal compared to 6.2.1...JuiceDefender is not playing with gingie at all...so I ditched that. No huge surprises where batt life is concerned.

there seems to be isolated stability issue...that I can't seem to nail down exactly when its happening...I've had a random boot this morning on my way into work (was running Maps and WinAmp)...had a lockup at lunch where NONE of the capacitive buttons were responding (funny the lockscreen (passcode and the slider) both worked properly.)

still no go with consistent GPS lock as it has been reported already.

@laydros: congrats on the little one!! They are a handful...but they bring the biggest smiles you'll EVER gonna have!

Heres a quick wallpaper i threw together using the CM7 boot animation icon and smoke from a battery using SBC kernels (jk :P )

EDIT: the background may not look completely black on your computer but it should on the evo, it does on mine at least
[EVO 4G General] mrvirginia:
well, i've read quite a few pages back to just before build 3 dropped. i'm running my own modified version of CM7 that i compiled. i'm assuming the source code is from build 0.

first, i'd like to debunk that you need Armon_Ra 1.8 or higher. i've had 1.7 since i rooted my phone and have never had an issue there.

second, what GPS issues? the post that led me to this thread was about how the GPS randomly turns on. i have that issue. but it definitely tracks me, and accurately. in maps it takes a few seconds (sometimes), but when i open up navigation, it's ready to go. i'd say that's working rather well, tbh. maybe it's a maps issue?

looking forward to cracking open the next build and taking a quick peak

cheers! :)
[EVO 4G General] eventer289:
Ah ok. I see what you mean now. So if I turn off network connection it goes back to grey.

Build 5 up now!
[EVO 4G General] retnuh730:
I'm running build 0 still, where would be the best place to find a battery mod that displays the percentage remaining on the battery icon itself? I saw that a number of custom CM7 ROMs have them but they seem to specifically be for those ROMs. Any ideas or pointers for me?
[EVO 4G General] Sweetlittlehugs:
I downloaded gauge battery widget from the market, it puts a numerical battery stays in the notification bar.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Its fairly simple uot kitchens a good site to get them from ..then u have to edit them into the framework.apk

If u get lost p.m me and ill whip one up for u..

* i speed read...i thought you were just implying icons...percents a little trickier...
[EVO 4G General] retnuh730:
Yeah I have that on in the meantime but other unofficial CM7 builds have the percentage integrated onto the battery itself, which I'd much rather have. Does anybody know where or how I could flash it onto this ROM?
[EVO 4G General] Swayyy:
Any changes in build 5 that are worth flashing?
[EVO 4G General] anaglich:
If you consider 4G worth flashing.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
dont tell lies!
[EVO 4G General] anaglich:
I did not not in any way insinuate that 4G was in this build, merely that this build is worth flashing :)
[EVO 4G General] Sweetlittlehugs:
I tried the kitchen but I'm easily confused. :-)
[EVO 4G General] jorgeszabo:
After flashing the last couple of nightlies I thought I'd put some feedback here in case the devs are reading... I'm pretty sure they know this stuff by now.

I wasn't getting any of the random reboots up until a couple of hours ago. The phone was just sitting there (screen off) and all of a sudden I see the CM7 Boot animation...

Also the top thing consuming my battery is Google Maps (around 30% according to battery status)... What's odd is that I didn't even open the app in the entire day... In the spare parts app I noticed that Maps was doing some crazy sensor usage (The blue bar was almost full). This happened in build 0 and 3 and I'm assuming it's related to that whole flaky GPS issue that Laydros explains in the OP.

Other than that it's a solid ROM! All that's missing is MOAAAAAR GEEEES!! hehehehe I'm looking forward to that!

[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Any notable changes in this build, or anyone flash it yet with positive results?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Dolphin Browser has a Desktop/Android toggle switch add on.

rc5 nightly-5 looks great so far.

One thing I'm delighted with is the weight of swyping notifications out of the tray :)
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
There is no RC5 yet. You have nightly build number 5. One of the builds will eventually be stable enough to be a release candidate, and it will be RC1. The next attempt at a stable build will be RC2, rtc. Once stability is finally achieved throughout the ROM, we will get the official CM 7.0 release.

I'm not nit picking on you, just taking the opportunity to explain the convention to some of the newer people.
[EVO 4G General] scoobdude:
Sorry for my noobness, bit what do you mean swyoe from the tray?
[EVO 4G General] thunderchicken02:
You can swipe notifications away from the drop down list, like in web os. For example, if you get a email notification that you want to get rid of without clearing your other notifications, take your finger and swipe left to right on the notification, it should slide off the screen.
[EVO 4G General] jorgeszabo:
You can dismiss notifications individually from the notification tray by sliding them to the right or left. Before this was introduced in 6.1 you could only do a clear all.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
DOH!!

lol yes:p..I understand the convention. Thanks for the re-cap though :)

But I run it as lose benchmark

I'm getting around 1200+ that's low for an asop rom imitation the only one or is this what I should expect out of this very new build?

Oh yeah nightly #5
[EVO 4G General] timothydoanpham:
so is everyone wiping before flashing or are y'all flashing directly on top? i use to wipe everything before flashing but now i'm getting lazy and just flashing directly with no wipes whatsoever.
[EVO 4G General] mwielgosz:
I would recommend fully wiping before you install CM7 for the first time. Until there is a significant update, just wipe cache and dalvik between nightlies if you're updating daily.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Is anyone having an issue with setting the browser to desktop? Even after using about:debug and setting the UAString to desktop, all of the websites I visit appear in mobile view.
[EVO 4G General] timothydoanpham:
well that i've already done for the first time install, first time i install any rom i do a full wipe but before when we were just testing nightly cm6 i use to wipe every single time as well. now i'm just lazy setting everything up and was wondering if there's any actual need to do the wipes.
[EVO 4G General] sarahlegs:

[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
Well, it works fine for the most part for me. I run Waze and watch my path every day on the way to my clients. It's worked in build 1, 3, and 5. Though I just have GPS tracking and not wireless networks.
[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
Excellent. This should be added to the OP's list.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
for everyone asking for more features (or lack thereof) in the nightlies, please be patient. just like in cm6, the first nightlies were very lacking in features, but they were added over time. the same will happen with cm7. they've got the most basic stuff working (sans gps and some wifi wonkiness due to userspace timeouts). for a nightly build, these are very solid, stable builds. patience is virtue :)
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
You can do that on an unrooted phone.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
I eant MOAR GEEEEEEZ!!!!

Oh wait...
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:

Shift, (or anyone else) do you know if the problem staying connected to wep is a bug that may eventually get fixed?

Switching encryption isn't a big deal but if a bug fix is on the horizon I can wait for it :)
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i think it's a bug. i was talking to toast about it. i'd suggest waiting for a fix, hopefully soon.
[EVO 4G General] scoobdude:
Why not up your wifi to wpa anyway. Not even sure wep is considered security anymore

Is this true what i read at beggining of page that most likely CM7 will not have 4g? Is CM6.1.2 being perfected for 4g or whats the deal.

[EVO 4G General] typeadam:
Every time I wipe and flash a new nightly or stable and sign into Google for the first time my old settings and apps start downloading because that Auto-Restore option is checked under the Privacy menu in Settings.

If I don't sign into Google that option doesn't exist, so it's not like I can turn if OFF before I sign in. But when I sign in, it's just instantaneous, and it starts downloading my old **** and puts up some old wallpaper I used to use and restores old settings!

It's so damn aggravating I feel like throwing my phone against the wall.

Why isn't that option OFF by default?

Is there any way to DELETE that restore file from Google's server?

I have to go through all these steps now just to circumvent that! And w/ the new GB Gapps, if I exit out of the screen to install Apps to uncheck that thing, the apps don't install themselves! And then I'm ****ed! I gotta wipe everything again, flash the ROM, flash Gapps, press 'back' BEFORE the initial log-on screen..!

And I always UNcheck "backup to Google." Some time ago I had it checked off and it's been screwing me ever since.

This is a stupid little problem to have but it's a problem nonetheless. How can I fix it?

Thanks!

*skip everything and uncheck everything about google

*run market app and sign in
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
Now in FAQ.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Just have to be patient my friend
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
I'm making an educated guess. The pace that CM7 is on leads me to think that a 7.0 may not be too far off. People like OS upgrades and they like stable builds. This is a complete guess. Sometimes the CM builds sit on RC status for a very long time, sometimes they seem to fly through.

Also WiMax is coming along quite quickly, but Cyanogen won't add it until it is pretty darn final. New features at the much of a system level seem to often show up in X.X.1 builds.

I hope we have CM7 fairly soon and it has WiMax, but there are no ETA's. :)

Edit: Just want to add that I am very thankful that #teamdouche and #teamwin are developers that don't release stuff until it is fully baked.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:

In the gapps extra apps what is kickback, soundback, and talkback?
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
As mentioned above, that is true. CDMA 3G can't do both, but GSM 3G can. However the 4G radio in the EVO is not used for voice, and when using 4G for data, it can do both. I don't know if this works or not yet in Shinzul's alpha, but it does work on Sense.

I got it to work today, but I wasn't using any sort of security, and it seemed to flake out or get slow after a while. I have also seen other people say they have trouble with it.

kickback, soundback, and talkback are tools for accessability. If you search for them in the market you can see a good description. IIRC talkback is a screen reader, kickback does haptic feedback, and soundback is a partner application for talkback.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
From Androlib:

Talkback is a screen reader that provides spoken feedback when using native android applications

SoundBack augments TalkBack with additional non-speech auditory cues that make the interaction both efficient and fun.

Experimental: Kickback augments talkback and soundback with additional haptic feedback.

Anyone getting random reboots? I did a full wipe using the format .zip and came fresh from CM6, so I don't think it's leftover stuff. It could maybe have something to do with the browser since I was running it, but just today I've had at least 3 reboots.

Not a huge deal, I know we're still in the nightlies, but I was wondering if this is occurring to others as well.
